I have been experimenting with a family of Eratosthenes-like sieves that seem to generate long streaks of primes before producing the first composite. I would like to ask if something like this is ...

=(-2)^0.333 = #NUM! =(-2)^(1/3) = -1.25992 Is this a math thing or a coding thing? Why does expressing the power as a decimal produce an error, whereas as a fraction it finds the value?
